These British kids do an awesome job with this cover, especially on the fast rapping bridge.
This week I answer the ten following questions recently posted on Formspring.
1. your voice is kind of gravely on the song “This Gigantic Robot Kills” Was it an accident, or was it a deliberate homage to the vocal style of many 3rd wave ska vocalists?
2. Do you find it odd you called nerdcore racist, but you call ICP one of your inspirations?
3. not to be nosy, actually, incredibly nosy, but what happened between mc chris and you? i can see it was resolved, but just horribly curious.
4. where did the ‘Lars’ come from? or should i know that?
5. Why do you hate nerdcore so much when that constitutes a good chunk of your fanbase?
6. oh! is that you singing/..rapping on G4 for Ninja fest 2010?!
7. The Truck Festival in Oxford was awesome this year, the only thing it was missing was some post punk laptop rap. Any chance that you will be appearing there in future?
8. When did you become Christian, and will it have an effect on the lyrical content of Lars Attacks?
9. Lars, why did you disable directory listings of ALL your albums on your website, including the really old stuff you’re not even selling? :’( That’s not cool, homie!
10. Mc Lars is a sell out. What do you think? Hot Topic’s money is that good for you to sell out?
